We will certainly continue our systematic strategy to detecting a pool heater by checking out what to do when the light in the command pad on the best of your Sta-Rite swimming pool and health club heating unit that is classified “solution heating unit” is lit. (We will certainly temperature calibrator wage the presumption that you recognize everything from section one.) This moment you will certainly should eliminate the sides from the heating system just before disconnecting power to the heating unit to make sure that you could read the codes on the board attached to the topside. After eliminating the sides, you will certainly view the big topside that is still attached to the heating system. Here the topside is a metal panel that keeps the topside in place. Under this panel there are 2 locking pins (wedge pins). Thoroughly eliminate both pins and also keep them someplace secure until reassembly. Delicately take out the best as well as turn it upside down. You will see a light lit on the board you are considering when you transform the topside over. The light will be beside a code that is written on the board.

The initial code that you'll view on the left side of the board will be PS. This is the code for the pressure switch. We covered the pressure switch in segment one. If this light is lit return to sector one and also review that sector. If essential adhere to the directions to switch out the tension switch.

The following code you'll view on the board is HLS. If you have a controller on the technology you will certainly have to bypass it currently. You will certainly have to thoroughly detach the power from the heating system. After you make certain that the power is separated, you will should locate as well as open up the high-voltage cupboard. This cupboard is a metal box in the middle of the heating unit. If you are looking at the cabinet, there is generally a screw on the great ideal side. Release the screw and also the door will certainly turn down toward you. You have to be remarkably careful when operating in this box as well as simply do so when you make sure that the power to the heating system is OFF.

You will certainly should bypass the firewall safety and security user interface. To do this you will certainly require a short cable with stab-tab adapters. If you have a controller and it was properly set up the cable could have been left in the box by the tech which mounted the controller. If not you will need to make this jumper cord. At this point look in your owner's manual to situate both proper pins to hook up to. If you have a controller or are using a fireman's button this is where your command ought to be linked. If you have a controller as well as it is not attached right here, it could be the source of your issues and also either have a qualified tech remedy the issue or remedy it on your own.

You must beware not to place the jumper wire on the power terminals or you will certainly ruin your heating unit by burning up the digital device. Use your handbook to locate where the fireman's button is expected to be connected and also very carefully affix your jumper between these terminals. If you now turn on the power and the heating unit works without any problems, your issue hinges on the controller or the electrical wiring visiting the controller. You will need to trouble shoot this device.

If you still have the very same problem with your heater. (“solution heater” light begins), leave the jumper in place as well as verify that the pump is on and that you have excellent water flow. Make certain once again with your meter that the tension switch is not cycling. It needs to read as a dead brief. (View section one) With excellent water flow verified and also the “solution heater” light on, your issue could be one of the thermo-regulators in the security system.

Because we started this with the sign light on the board lit alongside HLS, the initial point we are going to check are the cables visiting the higher limit button. The higher limit switch is located near the bottom on the left side of the water manifold as you face it. To view it you have to remove the side cover on the water manifold. The screw that holds the cover is on the top of it. You have to ensure that the orange cords visiting the switch are in one piece, affixed as well as not corroded. If the wiring is good, utilize your multi-meter to inspect that the high limitation button checks out as a dead short. If it reads open and the water is not above 104 F, switch out the higher restriction switch. If this does not fix your trouble you could have a bad control panel and also it will have to be switched out. Screening the control panel is a quite engaged process as well as will certainly be taken care of in a later sector.

This is completion of section 2 as well as has taken you with part of the security circuit in the heating unit as well as 2 of the indication lights on the board. We will certainly continue on with our systematic diagnose of troubles on the Sta-Rite swimming pool and also spa heater in the following section.
